Dearly beloved, we gather today to celebrate the upcoming union of Revenge‘s Emily Thorne and Daniel Grayson… and to wax curious about a batch of wedding photos (from the Dec. 15 fall finale, 9/8c) recently released by ABC.

Questions raised by pics from the lavish bash include: Is Ems’ face in her shots with Daniel attributable to morning sickness or just his bland company? Related: What’s Daniel’s excuse for the sour puss? Where’s Nolan’s +1? You actually committed to that cutout dress, Charlotte? Is Conrad multitasking by trying to dislodge a piece of cake stuck in his teeth while watching the couple’s first dance? Which is better: Em’s portrait updo or her free-flowing ceremony locks? With that form-fitting mermaid gown, where has Victoria stashed the weapon you just know she has on her person? And finally, no Jack? Really?
